non physical import of drawings and designs.

[SANTHANA KRISHNAN]

kindly clarify:

apart from GST @ 18%, any tax is to be paid whilst making payment to the Overseas supplier for the import of designs and drawings thru digital form.(no physical import).

In our view there would not be any other tax. However, if any kind of royalty is being paid then GST on such royalty amount would be payable.
